whats for lunch

[Smiles19]

Aaah so glad I found this thread, I have really been struggling with lunches lately! I go through phases of being really good and prepping salads on Sundays to take in each day btu if I'm busy on the sunday it just doesnt happen and it all goes to pot!
Today I forgot my lovely pasta and homemade tomato sauce that I had last night

I tend to end up having ainsley harriott cous cous with tuna a bit too often, just because I know its low in syns and fills me up. Yesterday I had a sainsburys pot of 'silky butternut squash risotto' from their My goodness range which is 2.5 syns I think, and quite tasty

I have a big pot of Ainsley Harriott Cous Cous at work as I can always fall back to it if I don't have any lunch or if I feel hungry mid afternoon. I can eat it on it's own as it is so tasty

A boring lunch for me today. I made Pesto Pasta for dinner last night, so I kept some back for lunch today.
I must admit, I'm starving so am really looking forward to it.

Weatherspoons 5 bean chilli and rice No tortilla chips. They are 6 syns. Not worth it. May have glass Merlot later on instead

Oops had piece of chicken salad and about 8 chips with diet coke in the end.

I've just had the most amazing lunch.
Sweet potato chips, carrot chips and lots of salad. It was really tasty. I had a small amount of spices on the carrot and sweet potato.

Recipe pls.

There is no recipe. I just chop S.Potato & Carrots into chips and then cover them in spices and rub them with a very small amount of oil. The are lush

Today for lunch I have Jacket Potato and Cottage Cheese.

Ham salad

Today I had a falafel salad wrap with a tiny bit of mayo light. It was lush, I've never had it before but it was so filling and not too unhealthy either

 

[Mom38]

I'll be honest...my lunch was a bit crap...well...kinda nice but just not enough and i'm starving again now.

Had a ross fish steak in butter sauce at 2 syns....they are TINY! And some salad at the side.

I made pesto pasta the other night and did enough for lunch so it was pasta for me today

I made spicy tomato pasta with chicken and peppers.

Diced 2 onions and 4 garlic cloves. Sprayed a pan with Frylight and cooked them through best I could.

Poured a 700g bottle of Passata in there and stirred.

Once passata onions and garlic are bubbling again I added a little bit of water to loosen as it will evaporate when cooking through.

I added about a teaspoon of Italian Mixed Herbs and a teaspoon of chilli flakes, stirred through.

Added some salt and pepper for seasoning...not sure how much, I just used my judgement...some people may like more or less.

I added just under 1/2 teaspoon of sugar (0.5 syns), this is because when I tasted it, it tasted a little bitter and this helps.

I added some red and orange peppers, again, depends on how much of them you want in there. I would of liked more but ran out.

I added some chicken pieces, stirred through and simmered for about 15 minutes to make sure chicken was thoroughly heated.

In a seperate pan I cooked about 500g pasta twists through, drained and once sauce had finished cooking through I added it to the pasta, stirred through and served.

If using pre-cooked ready to eat chicken pieces, do not reheat any leftovers. The leftovers I have I will be eating cold.
